Acoustic Homebrew is the pet music project of married duo Andy and Becca.

Joshua Kloyda
2023-08-10 17:00 - 19:00
Joshua has been a national touring musician for more than 16 years. His outstanding finger style playing and his knowledge of the slide, will take one back to the earliest days of the delta blues. Joshua is a tremendously talented guitar player, musician and song writer. He gives a memorable, exciting, one of a kind performance every time he hits the stage.
“This young man sings about life, about the ups and downs we’ve all faced along the way. He bares his soul. Honest, stark and raw. A wandering troubadour worth hearing”
Joshua’s music is life, the deep darkness and the bright lights of our inner and outer landscapes. Searching for what’s real, restlessness, contentment, love found, and love lost. Touching people’s hearts, meeting them where they’re at, connection. Traveling, unraveling, the journey we call life. One man, one guitar.

Eric Kalenze
2023-07-27 20:00 - 23:00
After spending most of the 90s fronting Twin Cities rockers Third Wheel, singer-songwriter Eric Kalenze dropped his loud guitars in 2000 and headed for his basement studio. From there (and working under the moniker Gawker Slowdown) Eric produced five full-length records, placed numerous tracks on local and regional compilations, scored an independent film, and became a fixture in the Cities singer-songwriter scene. Mostly retired from writing and performing since the late 2000s, Eric still enjoys penning a song or playing a show every now and then.

Aaron Seymour and Craig Teiken
2023-07-23 17:00 - 19:00
Bleek & Grimm is a psychedelic/folk/rock duo made up of Aaron Seymour and Craig Teiken. Lead singer/songwriter Aaron Seymour has been a part of Twin Cities music for a long time, having released records and performed live shows in five different decades: beginning as a teenager in the Widgets in the 1980s, the Delilahs in the 1990s, X Ray Hip in the 2000s, Petty Demons and White Sweater in the 2010s, and Bubbles in the 2020s.
Singer/songwriter/guitarist Craig Teiken founded and fronted the 1990s alternative band Wood, and has since helped lead groups like X Ray Hip, Sons of Gloria, Dave Rave and the Governors, Edie Rae and the Blaze Kings, and Bubbles, along with releasing a couple of solo records. Together as Bleek & Grimm, Seymour and Teiken write and record moody, trippy, acoustic folk pop/rock, with an emphasis on organic guitar sounds and melodic vocal hooks. In 2021 they recorded and released their self-titled debut EP with a lot of help from their friend, Minnesota music icon Rich Mattson, whose guitar, bass and other instrumentals feature prominently in the record, and who has been known to join Bleek & Grimm onstage at their somewhat-rare live performances.

John Magnuson Trio
2023-07-20 17:00 - 19:00
Americana guitarist and songwriter John Magnuson released his album Barely Noticeable in November of 2020. Known largely for his work with The Carpetbaggers, the Minneapolis-based artist enjoyed some notoriety in the mid-to-late 90s when the band did three tours with Son Volt and shared the stage with such notables as Los Lobos, Alison Krauss and the Gear Daddies. After the band disbanded in 2009, Magnuson started performing with his own trio, playing some under-the-radar shows, until he connected with country singer Becky Kapell, who introduced him to noted Twin Cities guitarist Paul Bergen (Erik Koskinen, Molly Maher, Hillbilly Voodoo Dolls).
Magnuson moves easily through 60s-sounding nostalgia to classic country (“I Stand Corrected”) and contemporary Americana (“I Don’t Mind If I Do”).

Charlie Parr & Mikkel celebrate 10 years of the Acoustic Thursday Happy Hour
2023-07-13 17:00 - 19:00
An easily confused and very shy individual, Charlie Parr has been traveling around singing his songs ever since leaving Austin Minnesota in the 1980’s in search of Spider John Koerner, whom he found about 100 miles north at the Viking Bar one Sunday night. The experience changed his life, made him more or less unemployable, and brings us to now: 13 recordings, 250 shows a year or more, 200,000 miles on a well broke in Kia, and a nasty fear of heights. Resonator fueled folk songs from Duluth Minnesota.
